myWorld Social Studies reviewed grades 3-6

myWorld Social Studies uses Essential Questions help students see the “big ideas” they’re learning about, and activate prior knowledge in social studies. These questions engage students in an active discussion of what they already know about the topic, but also encourage them to think further.

Scott Foresman’s myWorld Social Studies offers a variety of ways for your child to think critically about key concepts so they actively experience the world they live in and develop a true understanding of the subject.

Students don’t simply memorize facts, dates, and places. They take what they’ve learned and transfer that knowledge to new content, situations, ideas, and to their own lives. The goal is to help your students become a successful learner who will remember not only what they have been taught, but how to learn more!

[…] While I liked the product it needed a lot of tweaking and a lot of reading on my part in order to make it usable for a homeschool student. Since I believe that reading, spelling, vocabulary and even writing can be easily learned through literature and being read to instead of through text books and worksheets. I can see where the first time homeschool parent could definitely utilize this, or a family whose children are coming out of a school or even a homeschool parent who used to teach in a school and needs this kind of program. I prefer a more streamlined and laid out curricula instead of one that needs a lot of tweaking and prep work on my end. Yes, we liked it and we’ll probably continue to use it as a reader for practice and I may use it for my son when the time comes as he likes worksheets.
